Why worry about constraining the download to only 2 MB, when the user, if they are running Windows, has to download hundreds of MBs if not GBs of patches via Windows Update already? Running Windows without a high-speed Internet connection is nearly impossible
if you want to keep your system up to date. I'm sure there are plenty of developers out there who feel as I do that having basic UI controls is a necessity not a nicety. Would they really increase the download size that much? Having to rely on third party
controls for something so fundamental seems pretty crazy to me.
